Marine Air Systems will customize a chilled water system tailored to the specific needs of your vessel. Our products are the result of listening to our customers, asking the right questions and determining the proper system for each vessel. Prior to determining what kind of chiller is best for your boat we suggest you consider the following:
1. How well is your vessel insulated?
- What is the R-value of the insulation?
- What colors are the decks and hull?
- Which type of window glass is used?
- Are there overhangs on the deck?
2. What climate will the vessel be cruising in?
- Tropical or cool, humid or arid?
- Seasonal, Summer and/or Winter?
- Ocean cruising or island hopping?
3. What is the total area to be conditioned?
- Cubic feet of area below the water line?
- Cubic feet of area above water line without large windows?
- Cubic feet of area with large windows?
- Any outside covered areas to be air conditioned?
4. What is the primary usage and total occupancy of the vessel?
- Is it a private pleasure yacht?
- Will this vessel be used for business/entertainmentt charter?
- Minimum/maximum number of crew and passengers?
5. Are there any specific power considerations or restrictions?
- What is the current load/capacity of the generator(s)?
- What is available for shore power?
- 208/230 volts or 380/460 volts?
- 50hertzor60 hertz?
- Single phase or three phase?
6. Will the optional sound panels be needed for noise reduction?
7. Have you considered a backup sea water pump?

Now that we have a better idea of your needs, we would request a layout of your vessel. Marine Air's qualified personnel will then work with your engineer, project manager or yard manager to customize the chiller system for your vessel. In customizing a chilled water system for your vessel we will determine:
AIR HANDLERS:
Draw Thru? Blow Thru? Slim Line? Flex duct?
- We offer four different styles depending on your needs.
FRESH AIR MAKE-UP:
- This unit introduces fresh air to be continually circulated throughout the boat, providing fresh, healthy air, while eliminating dust, fumes and odors.
DEFROSTER:
- This unit is installed to de-fog the pilothouse windshield.
